It says SWITZERLAND on that knife - because, unless my surmise above was incorrect totally - it IS a special edition made solely for sale to tourists in Switzerland. I'd wager on that unless someone has a better theory.

That was my thought, too: something you might find in a Swiss-themed gift shop, not necessarily even in Switzerland, in a glass case next to the souvenir spoons and shot glasses. It also occurred to me that the scales might be from the after-market rather than from victorinox. Oops. I guess I should read the whole thread before posting. That angle seems to be covered pretty well above.
